I’ve been running this site for about a year now and was curious what you guys thought of it.

Honestly? It needs some restructuring. To me, when I first open the homepage, it just looks unstructured. I have a difficult time figuring out what exactly it is I am looking at. If I have to sit and scroll forever to figure it out, I leave. The content isn’t bad and if you can organize the layout a little more you would have a great start!

Depending on your knowledge of XHTML and CSS I would recommend looking into a CSS 3 column or 2 column layout. It is a basic well planned look with a title picture at the top and 2 columns below.

Here is a good layout template with CSS and XHTML with all of the code provided for you. This provides a solid structure and you should be quite pleased with the results. This site has many basic beginner layouts provided, so explore them all and see what you like.

Thank You JBaldwin

I know I need work on that and I appriciate your help. When I started this project I knew absolutely nothing about putting together a website and I’m sure it shows. I’ve learned quite a bit in the last year, but I know I still have quite a bit to learn.

I’ll mess around with those ideas you gave me and see if I can come up with something that looks better.

Thanks again.

Well, I’d look at your site a couple of ways..

First I have to agree, it isnt very organized. . . however.. that could be a good thing i suppose, it looks like an unprofesional (rather like my not being able to spell that LOL) type of site.. don’t take that as mean.. I’m a blunt kinda girl, can’t help it..

But.. that can be a good thing, making you come off as a poker PLAYER not an “affiliate” there for the game.. not the webmaster cash?

Also that thing that starts when I load the page.. I was actually not in the window .. but UHG it got me there fast! LOL.. again, I didn’t like it, I don’t like ANY audio that I didnt start, and IM on cable! that video has to be tough on dial uper’s. But, I have to imagine its an attention getter..

I have said this before in this forum, but IMHO a home page is the entrance, you need some things there to get their attention, but from there, link it up a bit..

Don’t put it all right there for everyone to see.. a link for the poll, a link for the show, a link for the msg board.. i’m sure ya get the idea.. it just makes things a little neater..

All of that said.. I havent as of yet been brave enough to post any of my site addys in front of all these pro’s your gunna get alot of awesome tips here

I’m getting a bit of a rep as being tough in my site reviews …
:devil:

---

OK … so I click through and what do i see ?

POKER ALL-IN

I like the header picture … lot’s of cash stacked .. two players facing off .. you can feel the tension and excitment … good … although others will say that this is your prime space and it could be better used.

There are ads from Power-ranking.com and a TV show at the bottom (which I quickly shut up) … candy floss …

(thinks) … hmmm … there is no activity going on in this site at all in the first screen. What am I supposed to look at ?

As for the stuff below the TV …

A message board with 10 posts in the last 10 days. (dead)
A poll of best players that expired on 31st Dec (dead)

I assume that the GREY menu is yours, it’s really pretty bland and nondescript if it is your main menu and supposed to be the focus.

How about structuring it better, organising it into groups and highlighting the best two or three options that might keep people on your site ? Perhaps even a sentence or two about the best categories.

I clicked on the first link that interested me – ONline Poker Review – and I go to a “banner farm” with 12 banners on it. How is this a review? It’s blatant advertising.

I close the window and chalk the site up as another affiliate banner farm.
(never to be visited again)
:notify:

SUMMARY:
Despite the great picture … the first page contains dead vcontent and the most dynamic thing is a link to another site (other than a running TV program) and how does that help you to keep visitors ?

The first sub-page that I choose did not deliver any good content. If I was a newbie player how would I choose? Where was the review? Where was the recommendation.

Overall … I can’t see how you expect this site to :
1) appeal to new visitors
2) appeal to returning visitors
3) make any sales .. .ever …

Just what is your sales plan?
:huh2:
